iPhone 4S Makes Its Debut in Hong Kong & 14 Countries Nov. 11

Apple has announced that the iPhone 4S will make its debut in Hong Kong and 14 other countries on Nov. 11.

In addition to Hong Kong, the new iPhone will make its debut on the same day in Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea. The device will be available for pre-order in most of these countries on November 4.

The iPhone 4S is already available in 29 countries, but Apple promises that 70 countries will have the phone by the end of the year.

Apple is looking to do more to tap into the massive Chinese market. Currently only one service provider, China Unicom, officially has the phone, but Apple is hoping to strike a deal with China Mobile, the world's largest carrier. Roughly 9.5 million people already use the iPhone on China Mobile, despite the fact that China Mobile's network doesn't currently support 3G for the iPhone.

Apple also has yet to translate Siri, the flagship feature of the iPhone 4S, for Catonese and Mandarin.
